Description
Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain
Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (France, 2001)
With: Audrey Tautou, Dominique Pinon, Mathieu Kassovitz
Original version French; english subtitles; 116 minutes
Amelie Poulain has led a sheltered life – educated at home by over-protective parents, she retreats into a fantasy world of her own. When she finally leaves home and finds work as a waitress in a Parisian café, life is pretty uneventful until a chain of extraordinary events leads her to the discovery of a tin box containing a schoolboy’s long forgotten mementos. It is then that Amelie discovers her true vocation in life – helping others find love and happiness – which she sets about in her own unique and magical way. When Amelie falls in love herself, she realizes that making neat solutions is not as easy as it seems…
